- Do you think this would help you and your doctor with treatment plans?
If you answered yes to these questions, then this tool will help you discover.
It will help you diagnose.
It will help you heal.
How it works
After completing a simple questionnaire, you'll receive an easy to read family tree that maps behaviors related to depression or bipolar disorder.
You can then share the discoveries with your doctor or family.
Your entries are anonymous. Your information is neither saved nor stored. It disappears when you're done.
"If I had built my Mental Health Family Tree earlier, it would have given my doctor and me a clearer picture of what I was dealing with.
It would have helped us realize that my father's constant mood swings and irritable behaviors may have been more than upsetting personality traits - he may have had bipolar disorder.
Knowing this earlier could have helped my doctor differentiate my bipolar disorder from depression, and led to effective treatment and the happier life I have now much faster." (Renee R. Patient)

"...Several studies have shown that doing a more thorough family history can quadruple the number of mood disorder cases we diagnose.
The Mental Health Family Tree solves a lot of the problems we have in taking a history. Patients can print it out and take it with them to the doctor's office.
It's like gold." (Eric Youngs Ph.D, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)
